    I thought I’d commented on this before, but I can’t find it. So….

    This is absolutely beautiful! I would love to take a stroll or a bike ride along that road.

    Awesome piece of work, and a fave!

  • BigD replied

    The dirt road is really rough to ride a bike on but it’s really beautiful in the fall as you noticed. Thank you :-)

    Too rough for a bike ride? Thanks for the warning! LOL! I guess a ride in a convertibe car would be nice enough. :-)

  • BigD replied

    Oh yeah! It’s a dirt road so might get dusty. Just over the hill is a huge campground’s with about 500 campers around a 55 acre lake. It’s beautiful done there but I am not allow into it because I am not a camper.

  • dreamNwish

    dreamNwish

    Aside from the dust, it all sounds like a great place to visit. I’ve never been camping, but I can imagine all the great photo opps that I’m missing out on because of it. ;-)
